Water bottle sold Rs 7 above MRP at temple shop, consumer court orders shopkeeper to pay Rs 7 lakh
The Kakinada district consumer commission has fined a shop licensee operating inside the Sri Veera Venkata Satyanarayana Swamy Temple at Annavaram after he charged a devotee Rs 25 for a one-litre water bottle marked at Rs 18. The commission ordered the licensee to deposit Rs 7 lakh in the Consumer Welfare Fund and pay the devotee a refund, compensation and litigation costs, calling the overcharging a serious unfair trade practice at a pilgrimage site.
